    Study Notes

    Muscles

    • Orbicularis oris muscle: a flat band around the upper and lower lips
    • Pectoralis major: muscles of the chest that assist the swinging movements of the arm
    • Platysma: a broad muscle extending from the chest and shoulder muscles to the side of the chin, responsible for depressing the lower jaw and lip

    Bones and Osteology

    • Os: means "bone" and is used as a prefix in many medical terms
    • Osteology: the study of the anatomy, structure, and function of the bones
    • Parietal bones: bones that form the sides and top of the cranium
    • Phalanges: bones of the fingers or toes
